Being that my alter ego Rhuddem Gwelin is
a Merlin expert it’s almost embarrassing that neither of us has ever seen this.
Other Merlin enthusiasts at Rhuddem’s lectures on the history of the legend
have said that it’s worth seeing.

You know the story. If you don’t, google
it.

Merlin is the old, pointy-hatted bearded
wizard we’ve seen in pictures. We meet him as he complains that there’s no
electricity is this medieval mess of an era. He’s waiting for… someone…a small
boy…to come so that he, Merlin, can guide him. According to White’s version
Merlin has lived in the future and lives backwards. He wants to teach Arthur
history and natural sciences and geometry. Brain not brawn. ‘My magic is used
mainly for educational purposes.’

I like this Merlin very much.

It’s quite shallow but great fun. But why
does Arthur have an American accent?
